| 第2题：Thailand confirmed three new human bird flu cases Thursday as health officials warned it could take two years to conquerAsia’s outbreak. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization said the latest tests show no sign of a killer hybrid virus that could easily pass between people. Tests on a cluster of bird flu cases in a Vietnamese family showed there was no mixing of genes between the bird flu strain and human flu, according to WHO. In the United States, a strain of bird flu was found at four live chicken markets in northern New Jersey, just days after outbreaks at two farms inDelaware led to the destruction of thousands of birds. WHO has said the best way to control the spread of the disease is by culling the birds. InAsia, tens of millions of chickens have been killed by infections or slaughtered in containment efforts as bird flu spread, jumping to people in Vietnam and Thai-lanD、 The human death toll stood at 19 on Thursday. While two of the three people labeled as new cases in Thailand have recovered, the third, a 13-year-old boy, was in intensive care in northeasternChaiyaphum province, Thai officials saiD、 Fears of an outbreak prompted Singapore, believed free of bird flu, to announce plans to euthanize 5,000 healthy chickens in a drill to prepare for any possible infection. Ten governments in the region have dealt with the disease over the past couple of months, withChina boosting its culling efforts as reports of infections there increaseD、 Beijing said Thursday it was mobilizing 16,000 workers for anti-bird flu efforts in a province bordering Vietnam whereChina’s first bird flu case of the season was confirmed in late January.Among their tasks is to try to pinpoint the source of the first infection. Destroying infected fowl is the best way to contain the outbreak, according to WHO. Thai officials have said slaughters of more than 26 million chickens have brought the disease largely under control there, while Vietnam has said its outbreak is easing. In Pakistan, U. N. officials said the disease has been containeD、But the U. N. Food andAgriculture Organization said it would take much longer to bring the region’s outbreak under control. "I would have thought that we’d be looking at a period of six months...but it could be as long as two years," FAO animal health officer Peter Roeder said in Genev A、In New Jersey, state veterinarian Nancy Halpern said the markets likely got the virus from one of their many farms and distributors. New Jersey has about 35 live chicken markets. This passage is most likely to come from ______ . A、a piece of news B．a science book C．a survey by WHO D．a report by FAO |

| 第3题：Woodrow Wilson was referring to the liberal idea of the economic market when he said that the free enterprise system is the most efficient economic system. Maximum freedom means maximum productiveness; our "openness" is to be the measure of our stability. Fascination with this ideal has madeAmericans defy the "Old World" categories of settled possessiveness versus unsettling deprivation, the cupidity of retention versus the cupidity of seizure, a "status quo" defended or attackeD、The United States, it was believed, had no status quo ante. Our only "station" was the turning of a stationary wheel, spinning faster and faster. We did not base our system on property but opportunity—which meant we based it not on stability but on mobility. The more things changed, that is, the more rapidly the wheel turned, the steadier we would be. The conventional picture of class polities is composed of the Haves, who want a stability to keep what they have, and the Have-nots, who want a touch of instability and change in which to scramble for the things they have not.ButAmericans imagined a condition in which speculators, self-makers, runners are always using the new opportunities given by our lanD、These economic leaders (front-runners) would thus be mainly agents of change. The nonstarters were considered the ones who wanted stability, a strong referee to give them some position in the race, a regulative hand to calm manic speculation; an authority that can call things to a halt, begin things again from compensatorily staggered "starting lines". "Reform" inAmerica has been sterile because it can imagine no change except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclusion of competitors, "a piece of the action", as it were, for the disenfranchiseD、There is no attempt to call off the race. Since our only stability is change,America seems not to honor the quiet work that achieves social interdependence and stability. There is, in our legends, no heroism of the office clerk, no stable industrial work force of the people who actually make the system work. There is no pride in being an employee (Wilson asked for a return to the time when everyone was an employer). There has been no boasting about our social workers—they are merely signs of the system’s failure, of opportunity denied or not taken, of things to be eliminateD、We have no pride in our growing interdependence, in the fact that our system can serve others, that we are able to help those in need; empty boasts from the past make us ashamed of our present achievements, make us try to forget or deny them, move away from them. There is no honor but in the Wonderland race we must all run, all trying to win, none winning in the end (for there is no end). Which of the following best expresses the author’s main point of view A、Americans’ pride in their jobs continues to give them stamina today. B、The absence of a status quo ante has undermined the United States economic structure. C、The free enterprise system has been only a useless concept in the United States. D、The myth of theAmerican free enterprise system is seriously flaweD、 |
